MARYLAND TACOMAS

I actually did, luckily my buddy owns a body shop locally and said the bumper took it all, just slight bending at the bolt connection on the underside. She hit her brakes pretty hard and I'd estimate she was only doing about 5mph-10 max. Got mom's info when she came by and she's cutting me a check when it's done. Don't wanna jack a 16 year old's insurance up...I was there.

 

Can't disagree there. My first truck cost me more to insure for the year than the truck cost me lol. Glad to hear it's all superficial

 

Anyone else washing their trucks today? I've never been so excited to wash my car. I hate the salt and I hate the cold.

 

Washed mine yesterday on my lunch break. I'm glad it rained, wash all this damn salt away but now I hear that ice/sleet is predicted for Saturday. So I'm sure the salt is coming back.

 

Jack her insurance up! So maybe she will pay attention when driving. People like her playing with their phones is the reason I don't ride my motorcycles anymore. Way too many distracted drivers nowadays.

 

I'll be hitting my local car wash tonight. $10 for the delux including undercarriage wash.

 

top and sides of the truck got pretty clean with the rain. I'm just gonna slide the garden sprinkler under the truck when I get home and run it for a couple hours.

 

I definitely need to do that when I get home Sunday, roads all the way here were nothing but salt.....

 

Yeah, I'm gonna hit the local self serve when I get off, the rain cleaned most of the truck but the underside needs some love

 

Eh, I'm not too concerned, I'm not planning on upping the boost at all, and with the TRD Tune as rich as it is I'm not worried about blowing ringlands or throwing a rod

 

I played a stupid game late last week and used the self serve wash when it was below freezing.

Frozen pink soap. Oh nooooeeees!

*Wash it off with spot free rinse!

Ice everywhere. Oh noooooes!

*Take your behind home, Sam.

Drove home that night with one side of my truck pink and the other side white.

 

Learned a good one there didn't ya? Lol

The other week i sprayed mine off and by the time i got home it was covered in ice lol. It happens. But i have a garage for it to thaw out in. That makes it different.

 

V8 swap out of a tundra. Plenty of power, keep it relatively simple. Tacoma should have had a V8 option since day one.

 

Negative. I don't like the 4.7 or the 5.7

I'd go LS3 if i wanted a v8

 

I was just thinking why didn't Toyota offer a v8 Tacoma the other day because we had a V8 Dakota in the shop. It was 4x4 with the 5.2L, Dodge also offered the 5.9L in the Dakota. Those are nasty!

 

Also, anyone have a decent ARE cap dealer? theres a plastic piece that broke, that appears to be part of the tailgate seal system. it appears to be riveted to the rear glass, so aside from drilling out the rivets im not sure how to repair it. the part is the one in the red box. (Pic stolen from TW via Google)

 

so, my next door neighbors house caught on fire just now. ive got 8 different fire engines, a heavy rescue, two chiefs cars on my lawn, and about 4 cop cars, and the gas&electric company just rolled up. Everybody made it out except the cat, and i think they resuscitated it.

 

I recently sold my 98 Grand Cherokee 5.9 Limited. Had a little work done to it, truck was a lot of fun.
